Seriously, this could be the most f-ed up thing that happens this year, as far as state legislation goes. A bill that Arizona Senator Russell Pearce wrote (SB1175) would make it so undocumented immigrants' existence in this state would be considered trespassing, and would also prevent any policy that restricts the police or other state agencies from enforcing federal immigration law. This bill just passed in the senate this week.

Tuesday March 10, 7pm- FREE
ASU Tempe Campus Discovery Hall Room 201
In the near future, America is celebrating the tenth anniversary of a
socialist revolution that has changed the political fabric of the nation,
but some aspects of life have evolved much more than others. As some
Americans become disenchanted with the new order, racism and sexism
are on the rise, and though the new leaders may talk a good game
about economic justice and equality in the workplace, women find
they're still working harder and being paid less, and their jobs
mysteriously vanish when they complain. Adelaide Norris is an
educated African-American woman who is also a blue-collar laborer;
fed up with the double standards that control her life, Norris helps
form the Women's Army, a revolutionary feminist group that serves as
a vigilante force to protect women on the street and a paramilitary
unit to fight the powers that be. The Women's Army are successful
enough in protecting women against rape and assault to gain the
unwelcome attention of the FBI.
Discussion to follow movie. How this relates to the new Obama
presidency is sure to come up. Join us.
Discovery Hall is between Forest and Cady Mall (which would be College, if the street extended into campus) just north of Lemon, which is just north of Apache.

HousingPoverty rights activists broke into at least a dozen vacant Minneapolis buildings this week and helped homeless families move in. “This is the modern underground railroad,” said Cheri Honkala, National Organizer for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, the group organizing the “takeovers.” This week’s actions are part of a growing national movement to illegally open up thousands of vacant, foreclosed homes to provide housing for the growing number of homeless people. Poverty rights activists broke into at least a dozen vacant Minneapolis buildings this week and helped homeless families move in.

Across the nation, grassroots movements comparable to that in Maricopa County who are focusing on immigrants’ rights are organizing around raids and detention by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), a branch of the Department of Homeland Security, or organizing against the construction of the border wall if geographically relevant, also a project of DHS. Immigration enforcement in the form of raids in particular, as well as the fear and discrimination caused by the laws, are the work of the federal government. Why then are people asking the federal government to solve the problem of our malevolent county sheriff Joe Arpaio?

PAC movie night:
Battle of Algiers
Wed, Feb 11 at 7pm
ASU tempe campus
Discovery Hall room 113
Free
Released in 1966 by Italian filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo, the film vividly depicts the Algerian struggle for independence against the French occupation in the 1950s and early 60s.
It recreates the brutal conflict between native Algerians and French colonists in which the two sides exchange acts of intensifying violence, leading to the introduction of French paratroopers to root out the Algerian National Liberation Front–known as the FLN. Paratroops are shown employing torture, intimidation, and murder to defeat the resistance.
Discussion to follow movie.
Discovery Hall is between Forest and Cady Mall (which would be College, if the street extended into campus) just north of Lemon, which is just north of Apache.

In order to create space for dialogue and develop strategy around immigration/borders issues, CAROB (Central Arizona Radicals Opposing Borders) is starting a reading group. This group is open to anyone who is interested in reading items from a no-borders, anti-capitalist, anti-racist perspective, with an emphasis on decentralization and horizonalism, and a focus on building strategy. The participants in the group will choose from readings on topics that may include: international no borders movements, anti-racist/liberation movements (chicano, black power, white anti-racist), anti-fascist movement, strategy in general, etc. The first meeting is scheduled on Sunday February 1 at 6pm at 3 roots coffee shop (mill & 10th by asu campus). We invite participants to read the following 3 pieces of writing to prepare for discussion, although you can attend if you have not read them.
Please share this information with anyone you think would be interested.
The CAROB myspace page will be updated with future readings which will be decided at each meeting prior. myspace.com/carobphx

Im a photographer from Costa Rica and I am planning to do my first extended work on the subject of becoming a nomad in Central America in order to migrate to USA. I will experience the process and base most of my work on my experience. My trip will start in a couple of months and I am currently gathering information and setting up my contacts.
I still do not have any contacts in the US side, I need people from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California to contact me if they want to help in any way.
I can be reached at:

Really, Really! It is true, Rod has already been released and just called me from a gas station in El Reno! He is on his way to us, and then will serve the last 3 months in a half-way house! There he can make his own food, visit us when he has visitation passes, work, and escape the sadness and violence within prison.

A disturbance at a private prison in Eloy by immigrant detainees Wednesday led to a lockdown there. Corrections Corporation of America said in a press release that at about 11:30 a.m. some inmates in the South Special Housing unit at Eloy Detention Center began throwing furniture at staff members. The assailants also caused property damage in the housing area with the active participation of other detainees.

In answer to a call for solidarity actions in support of Greek Anarchists rioting over the murder of 15 year old ALEXANDROS ANDREAS GRIGOROPOULOS by police.

In light of the current events in Greece, a call has been made to express solidarity with our Greek comrades and to condemn actions of police and state murder.

This is more a plea on my part to organize than a real announcement, but it would be great to see a legitimate, attention-grabbing, disruptive protest materialize in Phoenix, and the anarchists are the ones to do it.
